CPTED Practitioner
A CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) physical vulnerability assessment focuses specifically on how the physical environment can be designed or modified to reduce opportunities for crime and enhance safety. This assessment incorporates principles of urban planning, architecture, and landscape design to create safer spaces.
​
Key components of a CPTED physical vulnerability assessment include:
-
Territorial Reinforcement defines spaces to create a sense of ownership, making it easier to identify intruders and encouraging property owners to monitor and report suspicious activity.
​ -
Natural Access Control uses design elements like entrances, exits, and landscaping to limit access and clearly define public and private spaces, complementing security measures.
-
Maintenance ensures the environment is well-kept, signaling ownership and discouraging disorder, as seen in the Broken Window Theory.
-
Social Management promotes positive interactions through community engagement and collaboration among planners, law enforcement, and local stakeholders.​
-
Natural Surveillance enhances visibility by designing spaces to allow people to see and be seen, deterring potential offenders through the increased risk of detection.
​
The goal of a CPTED assessment is to create an environment that naturally discourages crime while promoting safety and community well-being.
